This was the fourth rally I've attended, and I've watched hundreds live so I have a pretty good handle on the routine. Friday's Trump rally in Wilmington had a much more relaxed feeling almost as if the threats are now contained.

First off it was very different that the rally occurred at an airport with regular air traffic. Planes were landing and departing right next to the rally. The runway where President Trump flew in had regular traffic up to less than 30 minutes before he landed. Other runways continued to be used the entire time.
While there was no shortage of security, Secret Service, Secret Service Police, Sherriff, Police and Snipers everything was much more casual. People would walk down the aisle to take photos and video which has not been allowed at other rallies. At other rallies you could step into the aisle for a moment to snap a photo or brief video but this one they allowed a couple of minutes or longer for this to occur.
All forms of security were much more casual and chattier which was not the case in the past.
